Hello. Thanks - Yes, you are quite correct. I took it from a spelling HIGHTOR in one of the old guides I listed in the references. I have now looked at my copy of Gover, Mawer & Stenton. I was really 'surfing' Wiki sites looking for ways to enhance my articles & came across the 'Etymology Box'. I am more practiced at the Scots language of late. Rosser.
Mostly I just correct spelling mistakes and typos as I come across them - one of the few things I'm actually any good at is spelling.
But I plan to contribute a little to the entries for the towns and villages around South Devon where I live. I'm still finding my way around the complexities of editing wiki pages, so please bear with me if I drop any clangers!
